Subject: What Caused The Tunguska Explosion?
July 14, 2008.
A lot of people are wondering what caused the
explosion in Russia about 100 years ago. I will put
down what some people think about it and at the end of
this article I will put down what has been told me
about what caused it.
This information should be called "Ancient Artifacts"
number 2 of 2.

A CENTURY OF MYSTERY DEPARTMENT
Huge Tunguska Explosion Remains Mysterious 100 Years
Later
A full century after the mysterious Tunguska
explosion in Siberia leveled an area nearly the size of
Tokyo, debate continues over what caused it.
Many questions remain as to what crashed into the
Earth from above -- how big it was and what it was made
of. Some question whether it even came from space at
all, or whether it erupted from the ground instead.
And there is always speculation that it was caused by
a UFO or famed inventor Nikola Tesla's "d-ath ray."
Death from above?...
The explosion near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River on
June 30, 1908, flattened some 500,000 acres (2,000
square kilometers) of Siberian forest.
Scientists calculated the Tunguska explosion could
have been roughly as strong as 10 megatons to 20
megatons of TNT -- 1,000 times more powerful than the
atom bomb dropped on Hiro****ma.
The longstanding theory regarding the cause of the
event is a cosmic impact from an asteroid or comet. In
the last decade, researchers have conjectured the event
was triggered by an asteroid exploding in Earth's
atmosphere and measuring roughly 100 feet wide (30
meters) and 617,300 tons (560,000 metric tons) in mass
more than 10 times that of the Titanic. But recent
supercomputer simulations suggest the asteroid that
caused the extensive damage was much smaller.
Specifically, physicist Mark Boslough at Sandia
National Laboratory in Albuquerque, N.M., and his
colleagues say it would have been a factor of three or
four times smaller in mass and perhaps 65 feet (20
meters) in diameter. As the asteroid exploded as it ran
into Earth's atmosphere, Boslough and colleagues
calculate it would have generated a supersonic jet of
expanding superheated gas. This fireball would have
caused blast waves that were stronger at the surface
than previously thought.
However At the same time, prior estimates may have
overstated the devastation the event caused.
The forest back then was unhealthy, according to
foresters, so it would not have taken as much energy to
blow down such trees. In addition, the winds from the
explosion would naturally get amplified above
ridgelines, making the explosion seem more powerful
than it actually was. What researchers had thought to
be an explosion between 10 and 20 megatons was more
likely only 3 to 5 megatons, Boslough said.
As to whether the impact was similar to a stony,
carbonaceous asteroid or a comet, "while the community
has pretty much accepted the view that it was a
carbonaceous asteroid, I'm not sure it's a slam dunk,"
Boslough said.
"The main argument against it being a comet is
statistical.
There are a lot more small Earth-crossing asteroids
than comets at least by a couple orders of magnitude.
While it's unlikely to be a comet, I'm not convinced
it's physically impossible."
Discovering the size and makeup of whatever hit at
Tunguska could shed light on how often such a
devastating impact might take place, explained NASA
Ames Research Center planetary scientist and
astrobiologist David Morrison.
"As interesting though Tunguska is, I'm more
interested in the next Tunguska,"
Morrison told
SPACE.com.
"We know small objects are far more numerous than large
ones out there, so we want to see how much damage they
might be able to do."
Death from below?...
Instead of a cause from above, in the last decade
some researchers have suggested the Tunguska explosion
actually came from below. Astrophysicist Wolfgang Kundt
at the University of Bonn in Germany and others have
suggested that an eruption of natural gas from
kimberlite, a kind of volcanic rock best known for
sometimes holding diamonds, could be to blame.
"It would have come from the molten earth, some 3,000
kilometers deep (1,864 miles)," Kundt said. "The
natural gas would be stored as a fluid that deep, and
when it reaches the surface it would become a gas and
expand by a factor of thousand in volume, for a huge
explosion."
For sup****t, he cited the pattern the trees fell in,
as well as chemical anomalies.
Even stranger ideas...
Wilder theories have been bandied about over the
years regarding what caused the Tunguska explosion,
including: A UFO crash. Struck by the similarity of
Tunguska and Hiro****ma decades later, a science fiction
writer named Alexander Kazantsev wrote a story in
which the Tunguska blast was the exploding
nuclear power plant of a space****p from Mars. A few
Russian scientists took up the cause and claimed to
find various bits of evidence -- never substantiated --
for a civilized alien explanation.
The annihilation of a chunk of antimatter from
space. This does not account for mineral debris
the explosion left behind.
A black hole zipping through Earth. This also
does not account for mineral debris the explosion
left behind, and there was no subsequent
explosion as such a black hole, having tunneled
through the Earth, would have shot back out
through the surface of the Atlantic.
A Nikola Tesla "death ray." The man who
pioneered radio and modern alternating current
electric power (AC) systems was often seen as a
mad scientist. One story alleges he test-fired
a death ray on the evening of June 30, 1908,
and once he found out about the Tunguska event,
he dismantled the weapon, deeming it too
dangerous to remain in existence.
All the speculation concerning Tunguska is
to be expected, Boslough said.
"Lots of theories are going to pop up --
it's like a crime scene, and everyone wants
to have a hand in solving the mystery," he
commented. "It's fun to speculate."

(JW Now for the information that was given me.)
Many years ago I used to subscribe to a magazine that
was called Universarium. It was put out by a person
called Zelrum Karsleigh. Zelrum has now passed on and
magazine is no longer in existence. In this magazine
they would print information from people on the other
side, in other words dead people. One of the favorite
people who they quoted was called Master Yogunda who
was actually Yogananda, but that is pretty hard to
believe because Yogananda the author of the book called
"Autobiography Of A Yogi" said that he wasn't going to
transmit to living people when he died and if anyone
said he was sending them messages, to not believe them.
He even told Zelrum not to contact his organization
that still exists in Calif. because it would opset
them.
I sent in a few questions and they would send me
the answers back from Master Yogunda.
One of the many question that was mentioned in the
magazine was "What cause the so-called the meteor
crash in Russia in 1908. Here is the answer, and I
know a lot of people will think it is not true but here
goes nothing.
Russia was experimenting with n-clear energy and
was making b-mbs out of that material. They were to
test one of these devices out in the remote forrest.
The space people who were watching them from above
and figured out that if Russia came up with this bo-b
and the rest of this world didn't have the device then
Russia could take control this world and really make
things bad for the rest of the people on this Earth.
They brought one of their space ****ps into the area
and this was seen by the local people. When the
Russians set off one of their test bom-s the space
craft added more energy to the blast and this blew
up the whole area. The space craft then left the
area and continued with it's work of watching humanity.
(JW Now the information I just put down is not
exactly what was said in the magazine but it is the
best I can do for something that I read about 25 or
more years ago.
So that's it folks. Take it or leave it.
